A member asked:

I had sex a day ago and used protection i'm on birth control but today i got brown discharge does this mean i'm pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The brown discharge doesn't mean you are (or are not) pregnant. Its usually related to uterine bleeding or vaginal bleeding as a result of intercourse. Best wishes!
